30 photos of perfectly timed moments

Growing up in a place where winter hits hard, you learn a couple of unforgettable lessons. First, slush by the side of the road is the absolute worst. And second, sledding and playing in the snow? That’s fun no matter how old you get. There’s always something heartwarming about catching a moment of loved ones reliving the games they enjoyed when they were younger, even as they get older. Lucky for this family, someone had the presence of mind to snap a pic and immortalize this brave grandpa, who looks like he’s recreating an adventure right out of Aladdin’s “Cave of Wonders.” Talk about a family memory that’s gonna stick around forever!

The way grandpa’s just beaming, tearing down that snowy hill like he’s riding a magic carpet, is pure joy and energy. That grin says everything about how you never really lose that sense of adventure, no matter your age. It’s a reminder that that kid-like wonder and adventurous spirit inside us are treasures worth holding onto, no matter how many birthdays we rack up.
